About Swimmer’s Ear
Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, often after water has stayed in the ear.
What Can Cause Swimmer’s Ear
Water left in the ear after swimming or showering softens the skin of the canal and lets bacteria or fungi grow. Pools, the sea and cotton buds all raise the risk.
Symptoms of Swimmer’s Ear
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- A blocked feeling
- Itching inside the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Discharge
Getting Swimmer’s Ear Treated in Bagdat Caddesi
The physician can discuss your symptoms, advise on care and prescribe ear drops where appropriate. Since the ear canal requires examining, an in-person check may be advised if it does not improve. Typical choices are antibiotic, antifungal or steroid ear drops, acidifying drops and painkillers.
- Dry the outer ear gently with a towel after washing
- Keep the ear dry until it heals
- Do not use cotton buds or put anything in the ear
